Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion
My dear Sir August 5. 1861

Col. John M. Wallace, commanding a Regiment,2Open page now at Harper's Ferry, has become unable to ride a horse; and therefore his friends wish him to be a Paymaster; and I too, think it ought to be done.

Could you not also put in George A. Mitchell, for a Paymastership; as even then, Indiana will not have a large share. Yours truly

A. LINCOLN
